Anakin's POV
How could she do this to me?

How could she be so selfish and leave me again - knowing how much it broke me to lose her the first time?

She saw what happened on Mustafar, she felt everything that I felt and saw everything I saw - so she knows just how affected I was, and yet she chose to do it to me all over again. A part of me hated her for this, obviously I do love her - that will never change, but this was such a shitty thing to do and I was beyond pissed, as well as hurt.

"Turn this ship around," I demanded, but got no response or even a glance from Master Ti as she continued flying further away, "Turn it around now!" I shouted in anger as tears broke through - causing Artoo to roll away from me and towards the other end of the room, he gets startled when I raise my voice.

"No!" She shouted back, before turning around in the pilot seat to glare at me, "I'm sorry, but she told me not to - under any circumstances." She mumbled quietly while shifting her gaze between both Cal and I - who was also standing by my side with the same determination to turn around as me.

My expression fell as I stared at her in disbelief - feeling my anger rising more with every passing second, "You knew?" I stepped closer to her, "You knew what she was really planning to do?"

She nodded and her face fell into sympathy, "I tried talking her out of it - I really did, but she wouldn't listen to me. And I'm sorry Anakin, but she told me not to turn around and risk our lives too, especially Cal and Ahsoka's."

Cal stepped forward with anger flashing through his eyes - with a hint of yellow that made me nervous, "I don't care what she said; turn around." He growled as he pulled his lightsaber from his belt and held it in her direction.

Ahsoka immediately stood in-between Ti and Cal's blade before I had a chance to intervene, "Don't point that at her." She held a threatening look in her eyes.

Cal narrowed his gaze at his girlfriend and frustratingly bit the inside of his cheek, "I love you Star, truly I do, but if you don't move - I will throw you across this cockpit."

My padawan took his threat as a challenge and pulled one of her weapons on him - aiming it in his direction, "Shall we have a temple repeat then?" She asked with a stubborn head tilt.

He raised his brows before slowly stepping a little closer to her, "Did you forget that I won that day? I promise today won't be any different." He snapped, making her eyes water as she kept her defensive stance.

"Enough," I waved my hand to push Cal a few feet away from Ahsoka since she clearly wasn't letting her guard down - and I didn't want this ship turning into their next battleground, "Cal, maybe those are the measures you resorted to before, but we don't draw our lightsabers on our allies - no matter how tempting it is." I turned to slowly glare at Ti who turned back around to face the window to avoid looking at me. I was pissed that she knew and allowed it to happen. She could have told me and I would have stopped it; (y/n) would be here with me if she did.

"Fine," Cal responded sternly as he put his weapon away and turned to leave the cockpit, but not before punching the metal wall of the ship as hard as he could; leaving a dent next to the doorway that he disappeared through.

Ahsoka sighed as her glassy eyes followed him, the regret she felt was noticeable on her sorrowful features, "I think I should go talk to him."

I nodded as she began to walk past me, but I gently grabbed her arm to stop her for a moment when I remembered something, "Um," I cleared my throat to relieve the awkward tension building within myself, "Keep the door open."

She furrowed her brows for a moment, then her face went into realization, then horror, "Yes Master." Her eyes darted down to the floor to avoid eye contact with me. I released my hold and she power-walked out of the room - going the same direction that Cal disappeared off to.

I sighed as I glanced to Obi-Wan's still unconscious body and made sure he was breathing since no one has really check in him in some time. Once I saw his chest rise and fall with each shallow breath he took, I knew he was doing okay.

I then turned my attention back to Ti. I walked forward and sat in the co-pilot seat without looking at her - Artoo rolled by my side and rested next to me, "You should have told me Ti," I whispered in a pain-filled voice as I placed a hand on Artoo - it was my way of apologizing for upsetting him with my yelling earlier, "What the hell does she expect me to do? Wait to see if she survives or not?" I asked in a calmer tone than before. I quickly blinked so the tears could roll down my cheeks freely, and my droid beeped sadly in response to seeing me cry, "Because I can't do that - please, we have to go back for her." I pleaded as I turned my head to look at her; her gaze was still glued to the window in front of us.

She was quiet for a moment, then slowly turned to face at me, "If I turn around, and Palpatine is there - there's nothing to stop him from killing you, me, Cal, or even my daughter," She revealed the last one, although I can't say I'm surprised - I had my suspicions since the temple, "She told me to have us wait for her at a specific location on Correlia and that if she doesn't show up within the next twenty-four hours," Ti looked away from me and back out to the blue hyperspace ahead, "Then she didn't survive." She whispered low.

I immediately punched the dashboard with my metal hand in frustration making her jump in surprise, "How could she be so fucking selfish! How could she leave me again after everything? Do my own feelings mean nothing to her?" I began to cry, and almost instantly - I felt a pair of arms wrap around me and Ti held me as I continued to cry into her shoulder; over the growing fear and anger I felt over the woman I love.

Ahsoka's POV
I stepped up to the doorway of the room that Cal took occupancy in, and I could see him laying on a cot with his arm over his eyes, "Cal I'm sorry." I made my presence known, although I'm sure he felt me coming before I even got here.

He sighed, "Why are you sorry? Did you know she was going to do that too or something?"

"No," I stepped inside and took a seat on a chair next to him, "I was apologizing for pulling my lightsaber on you, again."

He slowly removed the covering from his face and opened his emerald eyes to lock them with my gaze, "Don't I'm the one that's sorry," He exhaled heavily, "I shouldn't even have lost control the way I did, I'm still adjusting - I guess you could say." He gazed back up at the ceiling with shame in his eyes, "I''m just - I'm so mad at her, she constantly tries to be the protector and doesn't realize that she too needs to be protected. If she doesn't come back, I don't know if I'll ever forgive her." His voice cracked as he closed his eyes again.

I slowly reached forward and placed my hand on his cheek, while using my thumb to caress him, "I'm sorry - I wish there was something I could to make you feel better." I was hurt too, feeling just as betrayed by her as everyone else - but my focus was on him right now. I'm sure what he's feeling is way worse than what I'm feeling. I can only imagine if Anakin did something like this - I'd probably stab him myself.. not really but I'd be pissed.

He slowly smiled as she opened his arms, "There is, come here."

I smiled back while accepting his gesture, and I got onto the bed with him. He sighed with content as I hugged him, and laid my head on his shoulder as he wrapped one around me.

He turned his head and kissed me gently on the temple, "I don't know what I would do without you," He whispered quietly as I nuzzled myself deeper into his embrace.

"Well you did have a year."

He groaned in annoyance, "Please don't bring that up." He kissed me again, but this time his lips lingered a little longer and I felt my heart palpitating, "Life without you was dull."
